Greetings fellow Bizarros:

As weddings go I don't suppose this is very bizarre. I have read about couples exchanging their vows while SCUBA diving, while skydiving, even while (or immediately before) bungee-jumping. Compared to these getting married aboard a hot air balloon is practically mundane. It is what happened during the ceremony that makes the event note-worthy.

Things got off to a bumpy start when a gust of wind forced the pilot to make a crash landing in the yard of a San Diego home.

A San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman says one of the 14 people on-board suffered a minor back injury.

The marrying couple said the gust caught the balloon just after they exchanged their vows, causing it to sway over the Rancho Penasquitos neighborhood.

The landing on a hillside fence behind the house was filmed by a member of the wedding party. Video showed the blue-and-yellow balloon draped over trees near the house afterward.

Not to be deterred from having a good time the couple continued to their reception.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Porn plays behind Swedish news anchor --*
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A Swedish news channel said precautions are being taken after a pornographic film became part of a news broadcast. Viewers of TV4 News, a 24-hour news station, said they noticed a pornographic film playing on a TV screen behind the anchor Monday morning while he was interviewing a correspondent in Moscow about Syrian President Bashar Assad's weekend speech, The Local.se reported Monday. TV4 news editor Andreas Haglind said the 10-minute porn problem was likely related to a computer server in the studio connected to other networks operated by C More Entertainment, which owns TV4 News as well as networks broadcasting erotic content. "It's not like we were directly broadcasting porn," he told the Swedish-language Expressen newspaper. "Put simply, it's crap that it happened. We're going to do everything we can so that it doesn't happen again."


*-- Beer lover designs brew for dogs --*
BEND, Ore. - An Oregon man said he combined his love of beer with his love for his dog to create a successful product -- Dog Grog. Daniel Keeton of Bend, who works at the Boneyard Brewery's tasting room, said he designed the non-alcoholic brew for his dog, Lola Jane, and decided to market the product when he saw how much she enjoyed the concoction, KTVZ, Bend, reported Monday. Keeton said his Dog Grog is made from low-sodium vegetable broth, water, spent grain from Boneyard Brewery and glucosamine. He started bottling and selling the brew in July and his wares are now sold at Visit Bend and Muddy Paw's retail stores. "Two things that have become part of the Bend lifestyle are beer and dogs," Visit Bend chief executive officer Doug LaPlaca said. "So to create something that would take advantage of the two we thought was a brilliant idea." Keeton said he recommends serving Dog Grog as a treat on its own or pouring it over some dry dog food. However, he said there are other ways to serve it. "A couple of my friends who just acquired a puppy are making ice cubes out of it, and it's helping the puppy with teething," Keeton said.

since Mexico can't even handle its own drug cartels, I certainly wouldn't expect them to be able to protect our borders; when was the last time Canada won any wars? Besides, even were all guns successfully removed from the U.S., someone could still kill you with a sling shot. Gun controls seems to keep guns from the law abiding citizenry, not out of the hands of criminals. Gun control laws really only give advantage to the criminals. It amazes me people still argue for them. -Derek
[Hey, one problem at a time. First gun control, then we can think about sling shot control. This is the 21st Century. Do you seriously think the United States will be invaded? Wouldn't you rather live in a country without guns?]

Good idea, we should probably outlaw crack too then it wouldn't be a problem either. -john
[Hmmm...you may be onto something there, john.]

Lewis disarming everybody would be incredibly impractical: if the guy with the four foot blade had come across unarmed police, what would have happened? And if police are required to defend themselves without a gun: Would that restrict small men and women from the police force? -John
[They wouldn't be unarmed. They would have been armed with swords.]

Lewis, if that shooting incident happened in New York the ACLU would be filing an 'excessive force' lawsuit against the police, which would then cost the tax payers millions of dollars to settle. As always, enjoy your bizarre news. -Tom Smith
[And I would agree. A sword is not match for a 9 mm semi automatic. Which is why the police should be armed with swords.]
